(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, June 27, 2019 ) According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Global Sugar Substitutes Market Research Report and Forecast 2019-2024”, the global sugar substitutes market size was US$ 15 Billion in 2018. Sugar substitutes are plant- or chemical-based food additives which are used instead of table sugar (sucrose) to improve and sweeten the flavor of edibles. As they replicate the sweetness of sugar without providing similar calories, they are widely used in the production of sugar-free food products and beverages such as jellies, candies, puddings, baked goods, canned foods, dairy products, soft drinks and powdered drink mixes. High demand for these substitutes from the food and beverage industry has been one of the major growth-inducing factors for the market.
On account of sedentary lifestyles, excessive consumption of sugar-based food products and the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases such as obesity and heart problems, consumers are shifting from sugar to sugar substitutes as a preventive measure. Additionally, rising health consciousness and increasing awareness about the benefits of sugar substitutes are encouraging consumers to include these substitutes in their everyday diet. Moreover, they are favoring natural sugar substitutes over artificial ones. Apart from this, some of the leading manufacturers are investing in research and development activities to introduce a wide range of healthier sugar substitutes for consumers. Looking forward, the market is projected to reach a value of US$ 19 Billion by 2024, expanding at a CAGR of more than 4% during 2019-2024.
